It's not quite yet.
00:01
I can hear something flowing up in the attic space.
00:03
It would probably take a while for it to kind of drain down.
00:06
Not for attention. Go ahead.
00:07
All elevators are clear.
00:08
Capi, can you grab a little giant bringing up to near 2301?
00:12
Copy, grab a little giant.
00:13
I think we are getting a reduction in water flow.
00:16
We just had a bit of a pump kick on here in the sprinkler room, so...
00:22
Can you repeat that?
00:23
We just had a larger pump pick on the sprinkler rooms and tried to figure out to shut that down.
00:27
So if you need help down there, let me know we're opening up the ceiling here just to see where the flow is at.
00:33
That would be great actually.
00:34
You want me down there? Is that what you're saying?
00:35
Yeah, if you guys are just in this pump room.
00:42
I will start making my way your direction.
00:47
We might have titles join up with Tenney up here in near 2301 to investigate this.
00:54
Go ahead.
00:55
Any other equipment you want me to bring up while I'm down here?
00:57
Maybe just a couple blue tarps.
01:00
Repeat, please.
01:01
Two tarps.
01:02
Jopi, little giant two tarps.
01:04
Jenny, I'm going to have you take Adams with you if you can meet with him in the lobby.
01:10
Got me. Do you want me to meet in the lobby with Tennyson or just go straight to near 2301?
01:14
Leave with Jenny in the lobby.
01:15
Jenny, just open up enough ceiling so you can give us peek up in there, see if it's coming from a sprinkler head or if it's just a first pipe.
01:23
Copy, I'll let you know one more in the room.
01:24
Question finishing, we're in the room now.
01:26
Can you repeat that?
01:27
Luxon. Correction.
01:28
Genison and Adams are in the room now.
01:32
Cappy, let me know if you still have water flow.
